5/20 Orioles @ Rangers: Game 2

[Lucky Jim]

So, can we end the double standard regarding Tillman and Matusz yet?

[slappy12]

I'm losing patience with Matt Wieters. Who actually thought he was going to come up with a hit there? I think we brought him up from the minors too soon. Outside of Atkins, Wieters is the last Oriole I want up at the plate in a key situation. He simply hasn't proven that he can hit major league pitching on a consistent basis. Am I over-reacting or is anyone else troubled by the lack of production from Wieters?

No you're not. I'm thinking the same thing. I cringe when he's up with RISP. In fact he's almost as bad as Atkins.

Lou looks WAY better than the last time we saw him.

I like Hunter's suggestion about catching a foul ball on the fly.

We should give out a Cal Ripken autograph. Now that would be awesome.

Hell, if Lou is going to hit up here, let him DH or start in left and move Corey to center.

Don't think we'd be missing much if it bumped Jonesy from the lineup!

[UMDTerrapins]

Great to see Lou driving the ball. Strange when your average jumps 48 points on a 2 for 2. And you're still hitting just .162

I was thinking a roster spot.

Nice night for Arrieta.

It's getting really tiresome explaining this to people, but here we go again:

Over the last 14 days, Adam Jones is batting .340.

In May, he is batting .294.

Adam Jones is fine.

Just got home....what's up with Matusz?

Just got home....what's up with Matusz?

He's having a bad night and getting bombed and really needs to be taken out of the game, but Trembley used up the bullpen yesterday, so he's doing everything he can to avoid taking him out.

[Big Mac]

Well using 6 relievers last night is looking pretty bad right now isn't it?

[UMDTerrapins]

Just got home....what's up with Matusz?

A lot of soft looping hits got men on base. Then a couple mistakes that will probably wash up in an oil slick....when they finally land.

I actually thought he made some nice pitches tonight, but Texas has hit everything so far, and they aren't missing it.

It is time to get real here. We have thre ML pitchers in our starting staff. Millwood, Guthrie and Bergeson. Then we have a whole slew of promising young arms, who can't quite put it together. It may be time to drop a couple down and see the next contestants.
